> what's the point of it

the point is probably how every US diplomat around the globe probably goes to sleep every night thinking "I hope I wake up tomorrow with without permanent brain damage"



The news stories alone accomplish that, no need to attack anyone/anyone else.


Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but the new stories exist because of the attacks. If they didn't do the attack... there wouldn't be any news stories, would there?


No, the news stories exist because people have strange symptoms. Even with no attacks the stories could happen.


Ok... now think this through. Imagine there were no strange symptoms, and so no stories, and you wanted to create the stories... what would you do to cause the symptoms? The attacks, right?

Or are you suggesting a foreign power that wanted to cause fear would just hang around and wait and hope for symptoms to appear out of nowhere?


Personally I think that there has never been any foreign power involved in this.

That said, there is the possibility that something happened in Havana and now some foreign power is reaping a long running additional "benefit" without ever attacking again.


You must not read the news much, stories don't stick around long. Something that happened last week might as well not exist.


People don't need to watch Jaws every day to still be afraid of sharks.


Are there any documented cases of permanent brain damage from these "attacks"?


Yes, that’s literally what the article is about.
